Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Since Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4, mixed domain types in the same data center were allowed. To be able to move or copy a image from a file domain to a block domain, the images were converted to raw+preallocated in the operation and was resource wasteful. With this update, images are converted to cow+sparse instead to be more resource efficient. This feature is also backported to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4.2.

Tal, just to make sure - bug 1130246 is in MODIFIED.
IIRC, it was opened just so we have an oVirt BZ to merge upon. Please confirm, and if so move this one to MODIFIED too.

Indeed, same bug, same fix applies to both, moving to modified
